Abstract
By inducing nociceptive behaviours associated with relevant joint structural changes, the i.a. injection of collagenase presents itself as a pertinent model for the study of OA pain. The findings in this study support the hypothesis that injury of sensory neurons innervating OA joints may be a significant element in the mechanisms of OA-associated pain.
